Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

The Mid-Autumn Festival in August is just around the corner. After some discussion, Ji Nuan and Shen Songhe decided to schedule the flower viewing banquet on August 13th. There are still two days left, so the preparation time is barely enough.

After having dinner at the Song residence, Ji Nuan told Shen Songhe that she would go to the flower garden outside the city to pick flowers tomorrow morning, and come to the Song residence in the afternoon to help prepare for the banquet. Finally, she asked Song Jinbai to take her home.

The early autumn evening breeze was slightly chilly, and the two chatted all the way to the gate of Ji's house in Elm Alley.

Ji Nuan pulled back her hand, which was tightly held by Song Jinbai under his wide sleeves. Like a scumbag, she was eager to get rid of Song Jinbai after using him, and urged him to leave early: "I'm home, you should go back and rest early too."

Song Jinbai didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. After looking around to make sure no one was around, he stretched out his long arms and embraced Ji Nuan in his arms, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone: "Nuan'er, have you forgotten something?"

"Ah? What's going on?" Ji Nuan looked bewildered. She tried to recall but came up blank. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind: "Did I forget to ask you for the two taels of medical fee?"

Song Jinbai laughed angrily, lowered his head and gently bit Ji Nuan's lips: "I have already given you myself as consultation fee, why are you still thinking about those two taels of silver?"

"It's not the consultation fee, so what else did I forget?"

Song Jinbai reminded quietly, "Kiss me every day. I haven't given you today's share yet."

Ji Nuan deliberately tried to deny it: "Didn't we kiss this afternoon?"

"That's before you promised to compensate me. It doesn't count."

Song Jinbai waited seriously.

Ji Nuan was speechless and could only look up and kiss him on the face.

Song Jinbai was dissatisfied: "It's too perfunctory, it doesn't count."

Ji Nuan pecked him on the lips again.

Song Jinbai was picky: "If I don't feel it, it doesn't count."

Ji Nuan's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of danger. Seeing this, Song Jinbai tactfully stopped provoking her. He lowered his head and took the initiative to move closer, tossing and turning on Ji Nuan's plump red lips for a long time before reluctantly letting her go.

"Beast."

Ji Nuan felt as if her lips were about to break from the kiss, and the numb and swollen pain made her curse under her breath in annoyance.

"I do think so."

Song Jinbai was funny, with three parts of joking, three parts of seriousness, and four parts of anticipation.

Ji Nuan was filled with shame and anger, and pushed Song Jinbai away forcefully: "Go away! Don't linger here."

Song Jinbai looked at Ji Nuan's shy face and was very reluctant to leave. "Then I'm really leaving. You should have a good rest."

Ji Nuan waved her hand impatiently and said, "Go away." Then she pushed the door open and walked in, closing it tightly without looking back.

Song Jinbai looked at the closed door, his lips curled up slightly, and he turned and walked out of the alley.

Song Huai appeared at the entrance of the alley. Seeing Song Jinbai coming out with a smile on his face, it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

He had to admire Miss Ji's magic. She could make adults furious and want to kill people to vent their anger; she could also make adults happy and become generous and tolerant of everything.

He took the opportunity to ask Song Jinbai: "Sir, after the lady comes in, could you please ask her to arrange a marriage for me?"

Song Jinbai glanced at him and teased, "You follow me around every day, and apart from my future mistress, I don't see any other women around you. What's the matter? Are you attracted to some girl?"

Song Huai felt a little embarrassed by the question and scratched his head and said, "Sir, you have also seen her. She is Miss Ji's cousin Ji Wei."

"You mean Ji Wei?" Song Jinbai was stunned when he heard that, then he reacted and scolded with a smile, "I think Nuan'er is really wrong. You are the beast! Ji Wei doesn't even seem to have reached the age of marriage yet, and you dared to do that to her? Aren't you afraid that her sister would chop you to pieces if she knew you had such thoughts?"

Song Huai explained aggrievedly, "Sir, I'm not in a hurry to get married right now. When Xiaowei reaches the age of marriage next year, I'd like to ask Madam to talk to Master Ji San about this for me."

Song Jinbai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Does Ji Wei know?"

Song Huai chuckled, his face full of joy: "I told her, and she didn't object." After saying that, he muttered, "If she wasn't so young, I might have gotten married before you."

When Song Jinbai heard this, he took a deep breath as if he had a toothache. "Hiss—what are you so proud of? You're so much older than me, and you're not ashamed! It's just that Ji Wei is young, so you fooled her with just a few words."

Song Huai was not annoyed. Instead, he extracted information from the previous conversation and asked with concern, "Sir, did Miss Ji really call you a beast just now?"

Song Jin's face darkened, and he raised his foot to kick him in the leg: "Are you looking for a beating?"

Song Huai dodged nimbly, and when Song Jinbai turned around and continued walking forward, he followed Song Jinbai obediently.

Song Jinbai did not explicitly object, and Song Huai was very happy. This meant that he had hope of getting married!

When Ji Nuan returned to the house, Xuexiang immediately gave her all the deeds for acquiring the Wen family's property from the pawnshop.

Ji Nuan took the deed, looked through it carefully, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, that's a lot!" These properties included eleven shops, two farms, and a spacious house.

Combined with the assets that the Wen family had previously sent through Master Chen to build relationships, Ji Nuan now holds a considerable amount of the Wen family's assets. It seems that the Wen family has been seriously injured this time, with their assets reduced by half.

She asked Song Jinbai, Wen Jihong will be released from prison tomorrow. It all depends on how he behaves after he is released. If he does not repent and continues to seek death, she does not mind taking the entire Wen family into her pocket and leaving Wen Jihong homeless.

Xue Bi also reported Zhao Fengnian's situation to Ji Nuan.

After they brought Zhao Fengnian back, they immediately fed him the antidote and sent someone to notify Zi Yu to take him away.

Ziyu rushed over with joy after receiving the notification. She had originally thought that being able to bring the person back safely was already a great achievement, but she had never expected that the ransom was only fifty taels.

Zi Yu was extremely grateful for Ji Nuan and the others' help. She not only returned the fifty taels of ransom, but also took out an extra two hundred taels to repay the money they had spent on tea and drinks at Wushuang Tower.

Zi Yu had no idea that Ji Nuan had spent a fortune at Wushuang Tower, spending more than a few hundred taels on flowers. She was out having fun and didn't care about the tea money at all.

"You didn't take the money for her tea, did you?"

Ji Nuan casually took off the hairpin on her head and asked casually.

Sprite: "It was confiscated. We only accepted fifty taels of ransom."

Ji Nuan: "Well, that's good. We wanted to go out and have fun anyway, so redeeming Zhao Fengnian is just a side job."

Xue Bi looked at Ji Nuan with admiration. She was worried that after accepting Zi Yu's money, they would have no future. She had never expected that the young lady would use the excuse of "wanting to have fun" to be a hero.

Ji Nuan was confused by her gaze, so she washed up and lay down to sleep.
